Abstract

Philosophy and Jurisprudence in the Islamic World aims at developing the history of Islamic philosophy beyond Aristotelianism. The chapters of the book can be divided into two main parts. While one part addresses the juridical aspects of the works of those who are known as "philosophers" in the Islamic world, the other part is about Muslim jurists who have developed philosophical ideas in their works. For the most part, the topics are about questions in ethics and legal philosophy. The book can serve as starting point in the road to broadening the history of Islamic philosophy and understanding it in tandem with other aspects of Islamic intellectual history.
